    The Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed the postponement of the party’s presidential campaign rally scheduled for Mapo Hall, Ibadan, on Tuesday, February 7.

    The party’s presidential campaign rally was moved from January 9 to February 7 in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.

    The publicity secretary for Oyo APC,  Olawale Sadare, confirmed the development on Monday afternoon, February 6.

    Sadare said that, “We regret to announce the indefinite postponement of our presidential campaign rally earlier slated for tomorrow (Tuesday) in Oyo state.

    “The decision was taken, apparently, in consideration of the prevailing challenges facing the citizens of our dear country, and the need to allow President Muhammadu Buhari work around the situation and ensure that normalcy returns particularly as it concerns fuel and currency notes crisis.

    “At Oyo APC, we were convinced that it was necessary to go ahead with event in order not to play into the hands of some anti-democratic forces who do not want the nation’s general elections to go on as scheduled.

    “Although, a new date is yet to be announced, I can assure the general public that Oyo state will host Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in no time and it is going to be a huge success.
    “However, we appeal for calm among the citizenry as we must not lose focus on doing all that is necessary to ensure the fruition of the dream to have Tinubu as the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria,” he added.
